- 1 (12 ounces / 340 grams) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 cups mini marshmallows

- 1 (8 ounces / 225 grams) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 (8 ounces / 225 grams) container small curd cottage cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 (3 ounces / 85 grams) package peach or orange gelatin mix
- ½ cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, vigorously whip cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture achieves a pillowy, aerated texture with a luminous sheen, approximately 3-5 minutes.

- Delicately fold in freshly diced peaches and their fragrant syrup, ensuring gentle manipulation to preserve the salad’s delicate structure.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows throughout the creamy concoction, distributing them evenly for a delightful textural contrast.
- Seal the bowl with a protective cover and nestle in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to intertwine and mature for a minimum of two hours.
- Moments before presenting, introduce chopped pecans, stirring gently to distribute their nutty crunch throughout the salad.
- Transfer the chilled, luxurious mixture to an elegant serving dish, ready to enchant guests with its creamy, fruity, and indulgent profile.
Notes
- Creamy Consistency Hack: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before beating to achieve a smoother, lump-free texture that blends effortlessly with other ingredients.
- Flavor Boost Option: Enhance the peach taste by using fresh, in-season peaches or adding a splash of peach schnapps for an extra layer of depth.
